BREAKING: It appears that the No Kings protest was the LARGEST IN US History. What do you say MAGA? Is this a “mandate’.

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.

The Teeswork Freeport corruption in short. 2 businessmen paid £110 for a £100m site. We paid £462m to clean it up they paid nothing They made £100m selling scrap metal from clean up, we received nothing. Michael Gove covers it up.

I want to win in 2028 and then I want every single piece of shit who is profiting off the pain of average Americans to be sent to prison

The Trump admin is dismantling Freedom of Information Act offices. Then the offices send out emails like, “Hello, the FOIA office has been placed on admin leave and is unable to respond to any emails.” The lengths this admin will go to ensure zero transparency with the American people is astounding.

You’re all ungrateful twats

Thousands of people are ditching Tesla. Here’s one of them with a message you can see from space. Location: Black Rock Sands, Wales, UK Led By Donkeys is 100% funded by small donations.

His track record speaks for itself. While we continue to resist, we should take comfort in that he is deeply incompetent, not very bright & his policies are hurting even his most devoted supporters. Let's not get in the way of his inevitable self-destruction.

Donald Trump has said with no sarcasm that Denmark who have owned Greenland for 800 years have no claim to it. This is from a country that is only 249 years old and built on the bodies of the people they Genocided to take it from.

This is hideous. And close to inexplicable unless Trump is doing what Putin tells him to.

Spotted in London…

“Which RSC production ever ferried its audience to a nearby yacht? Or set a scene atop a blimp (which subsequently explodes)?” Peter Hoskin discovers how Covid constraints led to one of the most original Shakespeare adaptations… ever. www.prospectmagazine...

Meet Glenn Massacre , nationally appointed Crime Reduction Czar for the driven grouse shooting industry . He thinks it's ok that 134 hen harriers are 'missing' or have been illegally killed since 2018 , most on or close to grouse moors . Add your name petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

A tree in Ukraine with the best message to Putin yet. #SlavaUkraini🇺🇦💙💛

Justin Trudeau, "Today, the United States launched a trade war against Canada. Their closest partner and ally, their closest friend" "At the same time, they're talking about working positively with Russia, appeasing Vladimir Putin. A lying murderous dictator" "Make that makes sense"

Fox and Newsmax are destroying this country! Folks need to start suing those fake news networks on behalf of their families. This is so sad. This dude talking to his dad who drank the Kool-Aid about Zelensky and the war. Whew!

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

11 weeks apart. They were willing to overlook the lies, Jan 6th, fraud, the arrest, the charges & the rape to celebrate his return to the White House. Now they feign surprise that the sociopath we all warned was a sociopath is indeed still a sociopath.

A reminder for these times.

So classified documents going back into the Mar a Lago toilet?

This appears to be the Musk/doge playbook almost to the letter. Yarvin says this in a podcast. “The speed that this happens with has to take everyone’s breath away. It should execute at a rate that totally baffles its enemies.” By “enemies” he means we the people! This has to be stopped asap!

It’s done.

I served the people, not the president as US Attorney. That's the oath. That's the job. That's why you don't put people who haven't worked at the Justice Department in charge of the Department, or people who haven't worked at the FBI in charge of the FBI.

French far right leader Jordan Bardella cancelled his speech at the CPAC conference after Steve Bannon made a nazi salute. When you're too far-right for the French far-right, you're not just cos-playing the nazis to 'own the libs'. You are an actual nazi. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13. For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26. Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency. It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.

It is time to end the special relationship with Trump Donald Trump in the White House: a relationship with a dishonest sexual predator and convicted criminal isn't a relationship. It's abuse centralbylines.co.uk/opinion/it-i...

Companies behind Great Britain’s gas pipes and power lines pocketed £3.9bn "excess profits” over the past four years after Ofgem misjudged their costs. Will we get a refund - no chance. Ofgem doesn't protect people. Need customer elected directors on the boards of all utilities.

1. A few years ago, people like me were widely attacked in the media for “declinism”. How could we fail to see that we were heading into a capitalist utopia, in which everything would keep getting better? This is a thread about what we could see that our critics could not. 🧵

This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as *allude* to slavery or the civil rights movement. The wholesale erasure of history in real time.

Most Americans know what is going on.

The 5th aviation incident since President Musk and deputy Trump fired 400 FAA senior officials, the TSA head & 3000 air traffic controllers. I’d advise people not to fly to (or in) the US for at least four years. They’ll probably say the pilot was a black drag queen. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Beyond everything else that Musk has done, nullifying the rule of law is by far the most consequential. This will have massive implications for decades to come, and the biggest question now is what it will take to restore rule of law again.
